BREAKING: CDC Backs HPV Vaccine for Boys
FoxNews ^

Posted on 10/25/2011 12:58:48 PM PDT by Scythian

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel recommended Tuesday routine vaccination of boys ages 11 and 12 with Gardasil, which protects against infection from human papilloma virus. The panel unanimously approved the plan, with 13 votes in favor and one abstention.

The panel also advised that vaccinations with Gardasil begin in boys as young as 9 years old.

The recommendation, from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, elevates the urgency placed on immunization against HPV, one of the most common sexually-transmitted diseases and a major cause of cervical cancer. Previously, doctors were free to use the vaccine in boys, but the panel had stopped short of proposing routine vaccination.

Merck must have really spread some money around the CDC.

But of course. Rick Perry’s misadventures have set Merck back at least 18 months on the break-even point for Gardisil. Gotta make up for lost time, ya know.

Naturally the Obammunists believe that in the new gay-friendly America, little boys will be equally likely to engage in unprotected sexual activity as little girls.

When do we wake up from this national nightmare?

At this point, I think only the sound of gunfire will wake us up.

Exactly right, HPV doesn't cause heart disease, the simple lack of Magnesium and Pottasium do, and it's very wide spread. Magnesium basically staves off diabetes too. Coq10 is an antioxident for the heart, it basically missing in those with heart disease. No, HPV doesn't cause heart disease, being unhealthy does, and by unhealthy I mean the lack of magnesium, pottasium, Coq10.

This sounds like the PC crowd at the CDC. The boys will probably
get the shot in their eyeball.

The ‘cure’ is worse than the disease.

Ah, let's see.

From the Gardasil page:

INFORMATION ABOUT GARDASIL

http://www.gardasil.com/hpv/hpv-types/hpv-transmission/index.html?WT.mc_id=GL0EU&MTD=2

In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

So, we should vaccinate males because it helps protect against warts?

they tried to push this on my 11 yr. old son last month.

I said no, and it has nothing to do with the controversy about what it’s for...and everything to do with gardisil sending his older sister into convulsions.

There is something nasty in that stuff.

This is all about how much Gardisil does Merck need to sell to unwilling customers on the Government’s dime in order to recoup their R&D costs. And how much more they have to spend bribing politicians to get there.

GET THIS:

another key benefit of routinely vaccinating boys could be preventing the spread of the human papilloma virus to others through sex - making up somewhat for the disappointing vaccination rate in girls.

Sales are down folks, gotta force it on the boys now ... The girls were smart enough to avoid it.

BREAKING: CDC Backs HPV Vaccine for Boys

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking? I know this idea has been on the table for months. Not sure if the CDC has always been on board, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

The USSA is no longer a place to raise children. I mean that. Responsible parents should go to Latin America, Asia, even Africa. Go while it’s still legal. And while there’s still a few nations America is not attacking.
